DRAFT 1 (This is a draft copy as until we know who is going we can’t finalise – there will be further updates dependent on who gets ISAF boat and Junior Euros – (who is going to Kiel and French Nationals etc))

The team will travel independently and arrange their own flights, transfers and acommodation. Sailors are expected to have arrived by 5th August.

The class will assist with coordination of the event and logistics for boat transport.

All entries will be made by the class.

All participants are required to display their country flag on the mainsail.

One set of Union Jacks will be supplied by the class at cost for those who do not have them on their main sails.

Sailors will be required to wear team kit as appropriate.

It may be possible for sailors who are under 18 to go without an adult if attending parents agree to act as their guardian.

Proposed logistics:
The deposit of £250 is payable as per the selection policy. The balance is payable on Friday 13th July or the day before the boats are loaded whichever is the earlier and is expected to be £1,250 which covers boat transport, entry fee, kit etc.

There are various flights to Boston at a variety of prices (I have just found a quote for £250 and another for £500 but I am not sure how realistic these are) – generally the earlier you book the cheaper the price.

Boat transport:
This will be coordinated by the team: We are planning to ship the 420s and charter RIBs (or you can charter a 420 privately – although details are not yet available): Boats are expected to be needed to be packed towards the end of June and therefore will not be available for the Junior Euros.

Coaches:
The sailors will be provided with up to three coaches
What you need to do:
• Accept your place by Wednesday 11 April
• Work out how you will get there and book your flight and accommodation
• Order your kit when the time comes
• Confirm transport of your boat when the time comes
• Pay your deposit £250 per sailor
